How do PA residents get a library card with a blue Access PA sticker?
To get a library card with a blue Access PA sticker, you must have a ‘home library’. To have a ‘home library’, a person must live in a public library’s service area. A service area-made up of boroughs and townships-is based on population size and how much money a library receives from the community to provide service. Each PA public library has a legally defined service area, and if you live within a service area you have a ‘home library’; if you do not live within a service area, you do not have a ‘home library’.
